A farmer puts harvested tomatoes for air-drying in Korla, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Aug 24, 2014. The Second Division under the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, a semi-military administrative body in a few places of Xinjiang, has some of the best tomato farms in China. The farms' harvest season usually begins in August, when thousands of tons of tomatoes are picked and air-dried. The air-dried tomatoes are then exported to foreign markets with their original flavours and nutritions well preserved.
